Stock is an old-fashioned flower with a broad range of colors and a distinctive, spicy-sweet fragrance. They are a favorite among growers for their ability to reach maturity quickly in cool conditions, a trait which allows for season extension and holiday sales. A harvestable crop is achievable within 10–12 weeks when day length is at least 13 hours, making stock one of the earliest cut flowers. Follow our Guide to Growing Stock for optimal success.
